we've been trying to encourage corporate america to step up and provide more pro bono services. today we announced 50 companies have committed a billion dollars worth of value to invest in pro bono organizations, or not-for-profit organizations. we'd like to see that grow and get up to 300 companies. that's good for america's bottom line. it's candidly good for corporate bottom lines as well because there's an awful lot of folks that are pretty upset at business at this point. if business can show an ability to give back, that helps everyone. >> senator warner, it's good to see you. thank you so much. >> thank you. >>> more violent clashes between police and occupy wall street protesters in california. there had been a day of peaceful protests yesterday, but then a small group of demonstrators in oakland started a large bonfire in the middle of a downtown street. police moved in with riot gear and tear gas. dozens of pro pestetesters were arrested. the spark card earns double miles... so we really had to up our game. with spark, the boss earns double miles on every purchase, eve
